Thankyou Minniehaha, I hadn't looked at paperspast, probably because I had that info from other sources and you are right 7 children born in NZ and 3 in England, I did a mis count. :(

Hopefully a descendant will see the post.

Many thanks

New Zealand Completed Requests / James and Rebecca Martin
« on: Thursday 18 July 19 06:16 BST (UK)  »
Greetings all,  Is there anyone out there researching the descendants of James and Rebecca Martin who arrived in 1872 on the Zealandia. James was under contract to Brogdens to work on the expanding railway system in Southland. Rebecca's maiden name was Parrell.  They had a large family, 4 children born in England and 6 born in Invercargill and Lumsden.  I am familiar with two of their children's family lines and a basic knowledge of the others. I would like to make contact with any researches with a view of sharing information.
Many thanks.

 ShaunJ and Sandra,  I had found Donald last night but called it a night before checking the Canadian census - so thankyou for all the work while I slept.  You have both given me some work to do.  A family story is that there was a fire in The Records office at Nashville. Which may explain the lack of records. Thank goodness for newspaper achieves.
Really appreciate the help :)

Oh! Could I trouble you to see if there is a death notice in 1889 in Tennessee - a secondary source suggests he died of Pnuemonia in New York but the place name could be wrong.
Thanks

Hello again everyone,
Thankyou all so much. 
ShaunJ - I hadn't seen the newspaper clip before so that was interesting. I didn't sign up for the week free trial but  I think I could read enough of what they allowed me to see. Interesting that John J had only been in Tennessee a few weeks. Food for thought there.
Jamjar - I was aware of the son Thomas Joseph but other than a quick look I didnot persue him in detail as my initial interest lies with his brother Charles John.  More specifically with John Joesph and who his parents might be.  The death of John J is from a very secondary source in the form of a family tree. I have sent the owner a message and waiting on a reply.
aghadowery - no luck with the census in either country - the many different spellings for the surname may account for that. :)
Appreciate the help
Mary

I couldnt find him in the 1880 US Census - I've looked at so many things tonight  :-[ not sure about the 1881 census, I have a feeling there were just so many but maybe I had better track back.
thanks.

I'm looking for the parents of John Joseph Bellemore born in Quebec Canada but don't know when. John died in New York in 1889 but had married Catherine CLEARY at St Mary's Cathedral, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. 
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mary
